psats

<p>when do they come out typically?
im a bit nervous
is there a curve usually?</p>

<p>For my school they come out early-mid december. The curves are usually very harsh. -1 math q =76 last year. missing one grammar q prolly will put u down by 3 pts and prolly around 2pts for each cr q (roughly).
I am so nervous about my scores cos the diff from 1 210 and 220 is like 2 math q and 1 grammar q.</p>

<p>Eeps. I hope that they come back soon. At my school they give the scores out at different times for juniors and sophomores. Maybe contact the guidance department and ask when they’re planning on giving them out?</p>

<p>I think that I did better than last year (only a 1360 (out of 1600) or something like that) but I don’t know, because I wasn’t as fresh on the geometry (took it freshman year and it’s now junior year).</p>

<p>Eeps. Nervous. Maybe I did better on the Writing section. My score there was almost 10 points lower than my math and CR (which I think I got the same or within a point on each). I think I just ran out of steam because I knew it didn’t really count as much as the others.</p>

<p>I’m blabbering now.</p>

<p>I’m kind of scared, because I’m using it to decide when to take the SATs (whether I’m ready or not). My state’s cutoff is also very high, and I was one point short sophomore year (yeah I know it doesn’t count but it counts psychologically :P).</p>

<p>Where do you look up what your state’s cut off was for the previous year?</p>

<p>^ class of 09, I also have a high cutoff state and was one away last year. Coincidence? I think not.</p>

<p>I got an average state cut-off ,213 ish area. still i want 220+</p>

<p>yeah i’m scared, ny competition is fierceeeee.</p>

<p>i think NJ is very harsh too</p>

<p>but then, i’m not worried b/c i know that i screwed up the PSATs big time this yr. lol i had facial paralysis and my muscles were twitching so badly, my eyes were just cryin a river b/c of the effect.</p>

<p>Yeah, i have a brutal cutoff state too, 218!</p>

<p>Why can’t i live in like Wyoming where the cutoff is hardly over 200 lol</p>

<p>hmm, i thought there was usually a one question curve for CR… at least the 2006 psat had one.</p>

<p>omg…dont’ even talk about brutal state cutoffs…
here at MA the cut off last year was 224.</p>
